Inter-Institutional Work
Students who have been admitted to the University of the Incarnate Word may also attend St. Mary’s University or Our Lady of the Lake University through an Inter- Institutional Agreement established by the United Catholic Colleges of San Antonio. These courses count as resident courses and count in the student’s cumulative average. The Inter-Institutional Enrollment Request form is available in the Registrar’s Office. The following policies apply:
- No more than 12 semester hours earned through the Inter-Institution Enrollment Agreement will apply toward a UIW degree.
- No more than six semester hours earned through the Inter-Institution Enrollment Agreement will apply toward a major on a UIW degree.
- A student enrolling in the inter-institutional courses must obtain approval from both the Home (UIW) and Host institutions.
- UIW tuition discounts are not authorized for inter-institutional enrollment. Full tuition will be charged.
- Students attending UIW under institutional scholarships or tuition “trade-outs” for business services are not eligible for this program unless they are willing to pay full tuition for the course.
- Registration for Host courses obligates the student for the appropriate tuition and fees associated with each course.
- UIW staff/faculty/dependent tuition waivers are not authorized for inter-institutional enrollment. All institutions except St. Mary’s University will honor Full/unlimited tuition waiver for employee dependents.
- Enrollment in a course may be used by the Host institution in computing financial aid awards.
- A student enrolling in a “travel/credit” program may arrange to pay all associated costs to the Home institution, and the funds will be sent to the institution sponsoring the program.
- Excluded programs: St. Mary’s University – doctoral and law programs; Our Lady of the Lake – weekend and doctoral programs; UIW doctoral, medical, and professional programs.
- Approval will not be granted if an equivalent course is available at UIW.
